Why I keep pointing out the importance of asking questions


By Jonathan - Posted on 19 November 2009

This is a fundamental piece of my personal philosophy, one I hope you'll embrace yourself.

Ask questions. Ask more questions. Ask deeper questions. Ask hard questions. Ask "why" a lot. Ask "how" a lot. When you're done, ask one more tough question and see if you still think you're done.

I could give you answers all day. The problem? All I'm giving you are my answers to my life. This is another fundamental piece of my personal philosophy: find your own way. Let me explain.

Ever try to follow in someone's footsteps and do what they did, only to not have it work out the same? That's because you're removing yourself from the equation. It worked for them, not you. Some of what they did will work or you, and some of it won't. If you had questioned each of their steps for yourself you would have discovered your own way.

Any time you want to do something, anything at all, ask questions. Ask more questions. Ask deeper questions....
